| Abstract | An effective treatment for hepatic fibrosis is not available clinically. Nuclear factor (NF)-κB plays a central role in inflammation and fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of an NF-κB inhibitor, BAY-11–7082 (BAY), on mouse liver fibrosis. The effects of BAY on hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation were measured in the lipopolysaccharide-activated rat HSC-T6 cell line. In addition, the therapeutic effect of BAY was studied in vivo using a model of hepatic fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in mice. BAY effectively decreased the cell viability of activated HSC-T6 cells and suppressed HSC-T6 activation by downregulating the expression of collagen I and α-smooth muscle actin. BAY significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and serine/threonine kinase-protein kinase B (Akt) in activated HSC-T6 cells. In addition, administration of BAY attenuated mouse liver fibrosis induced by CCl4, as shown by histology and the expression of profibrogenic markers. BAY also significantly decreased the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase in this model of hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, the results of the present study demonstrate that BAY attenuates liver fibrosis by blocking PI3K and Akt phosphorylation in activated HSCs. Thus, BAY demonstrates therapeutic potential as a treatment for hepatic fibrosis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
